“I lost my father, so getting food at home is difficult and I often came to school hungry. Knowing I will always have lunch at school is something I really look forward to. I want to become a nurse in the future, and this feeding program is helping me stay in school and work toward that dream.”
3 weeks into our two new feeding programmes in Basebele schools, and already lives are changing. Young people can see a future, one that is hopeful.
Thank you to Ernestina for sharing with us so honestly, we are so glad to be able to help her stay in school and meet her potential.

Her story is full of hope. Looking forward to seeing her meet her future aspirations. Long live Action Through Enterprise - ATE
Someone somewhere is really dying in silence, but just that "little" help makes a greater change. Long live ATE
